About this course

The Country Club of Asheville stands as a testament to a bygone era of mountain golf, a graceful reminder of simpler times etched into the North Carolina landscape. Situated in the heart of Asheville, the course, while not commanding national attention, offers a challenging and serene golfing experience. Designed in the early 20th century, this parkland-style course unfolds across rolling hills and verdant valleys. Winding fairways, punctuated by mature trees and the occasional strategically placed bunker, place a premium on accurate approach shots. The relatively shorter layout favors shot makers, rewarding finesse over sheer power, and the undulating greens demand thoughtful club selection. Donald Ross originally sculpted this mountain gem, and its classic design remains largely intact. While it may not be a regular stop on any professional tour, The Country Club of Asheville holds its own regional tournaments, fostering a friendly, competitive spirit among its members. Beyond the golf, The Country Club of Asheville's social environment is known to be vibrant, with a deep connection to the local community. Many members are Asheville natives who have generations of memories from the club, contributing to its unique local charm and atmosphere.

Getting there

The journey to The Country Club of Asheville begins at Asheville Regional Airport, a compact gateway nestled in the Blue Ridge foothills just twenty minutes south of the city. From there, the route winds north through Asheville's historic downtown before climbing gently into the elevated residential enclave of Town Mountain, where the air cools and the views stretch across layered ridgelines. The final approach trades urban energy for tree-canopied lanes and stone gateways, delivering members and guests to a secluded Donald Ross sanctuary perched high above the French Broad River valley - a fitting reward for the ascent into Asheville's most storied golfing address.
